Of course companies could just - I know, weird idea - stop tracking you. Then you don't need those dumb consent boxes.

Please ask the EU to lead by example then. The official EU commission website has a cookie banner (https://commission.europa.eu/index_fr)

So either: The EU commission is including trackers on their websites. And they should stop OR they acknowledge that it's almost impossible to build a website without some form of tracking that falls under the law, and they should look into the law itself.

So they have work on their plate.

I created a production web application which does tracking (although not necessary, could remove it within minutes from the application and probably nobody would notice) without needing a "cookie" banner. How? I don't track any personal data, just anonymous interaction.
